((I am really hoping that we aren't in a vampire elementary school))
"Shhh, it will be ok. . . "
Nikolai puts the woman in a sleeper hold until she loses consciousness. He then sets her down and assembles his rifle. He opens the window and gauges the visibility at this height.=
The mist is thick, there being a heaviness to it in the air. There is a thoughtfulness in how it moves, the way it keeps from creeping in through the open window, as though it’s happy outside. Visibility is 0, nothing can be seen out the window. More for Nikolai at the bottom of this post.
"Now, surely this building is destructible. Damn lazy devs, putting in invincible buildings."
Stick a nice big remote bomb by the entrance. Get an arrow and remote ready to fire.
A pack of TNT and wireless detonator are placed at the entrance. No one seems to have seen.
((Huh. I can't say I've ever seen a GM trade places with one of their players before.))
Trump orders the mooks to take out their shields and guns, and he readies his Overcompensator. Loaded with Match AP, for now.
He then orders the mook without grenades to look around nearby for any routes higher in the building, or to a more secure area. Grenade mook should stay within eyesight, but is ordered to guard some door that's a fair distance away.
Trump himself will take cover behind the receptionist's desk, and examine his surroundings. What's the shape of the area, how many entrances are there, escape routes, etc?
The teachers are all leading extraordinarily well behaved children from the classrooms all in the same direction. There is no play, no talking, not even a stray giggle. All the children are smiling happily to be at school and doing what they are told. The reception area has 5 exits, two behind the reception desk on either side, the one out the street which the party came in off, and two leading to corridors of classrooms on either side. The one to the right (if one is facing from the entrance to the reception desk) has had several parties of school children pass by from the far end of the corridor and turn just before the reception area. The teachers coax the children onward, and from this you can pick up that it is time for religious education.
Maybe I'll let Sialia GM this segment, she can improvise the story better than I can.
Yea I was doing the exam fretting thing.
So... here's my sheet, can I play?
Baron Tangorn of Gondor
Bio: Baron Tangorn, Lieutenant of Gondor is a veteran of the war of the ring. He spent his early career as an agent of the Gondorian foreign station in Umbar, and later as an infantry commander during the war. As a spy, he is a linguistics expert, and good at analyzing unknown languages. He is also an accomplished swordsman who has gone blade to blade with the many monsters of his world.
The Baron also has an insufferable sense of honor. He is the sort of idealist who would choose according to his conscience, consequences be damned. His career in espionage would have been interesting, if he didn't make the switch to the mainline military.
One day, while taking a bath, the good Baron fell through a gap in the worlds into this one.

Cheiron has been concerned about the team’s performance in the field. Reports from the handler observing the team state there is a vicious competitive atmosphere and this can often lead to violence and other unproductive actions within the group. Cheiron has authorised that a potentially more stable operative join the group. Tangorn had just arrived when the mist rolled in, forcing him inside a nearby school. He has arrived in the library, having come in from an unrelated direction to the rest of the team. There is a classroom filled with computers on his right, ahead is a desk for students to check books out of the library, behind that an office for the librarian. The coridoor out runs to the left of this, and to his far left are rows of books, with some board games stored in the far corner. The corridor is the only exit from the library, apart from the small exit into the playground that the Baron came in through.
Meanwhile at the chapel, where Nikolai is sitting on the disused upper floor, mostly now used for spotlights and other ambient lighting effects. Presumably the bell tower that is still at one end rung the bell to signal the start of church or school. This floor has a good view down into the auditorium section, he hears the doors to the chapel open. From two separate doors, well behaved and silent children are filing in. They move with clearly practised precision, everyone taking an assigned seat which efficient diligence. The teachers begin to take their seats in the front row.
The layout of the first floor of the chapel includes four doors, one at each corner. One of these leads to the indoor corridor Nikolai took into the chapel. The large building is made to seat the entire school of children. At the front is a stage upon which rests a cross, altar and a row of seating, upon which is already seated the chaplain, dressed in his robes. Upon the altar is draped a white sheet, and resting on this is two large and two small cups, each filled with wine, and four small bowls filled with small crackers. Behind the stage are two doors leading into the backstage area.
